You can change quite a bit at once at the airport, there are bank booths there and they buy a visa (although you can go to Sharm without a visa and using the Sinai free stamp), and then, if necessary, you can change it at any bank, the rate is the same in banks, now $ 1 = 6.04 lbs.
Sharm is full of banks both at hotels and around the city.

I do not advise you to change the currency, around the price is dollars.

And I advise you to exchange a small amount for pounds for a tip to the servants.

It is better to pay in shops and shops in pounds, they consider dollars at a very low rate.

In such stores as Metro, Carrefour, they ask for local currency, if they take you in $, then this will be a favorable rate for them, but not for you, so change as nadin65 wrote above upon arrival at the airport at least a little.

I also agree that it is more profitable to pay in local currency, and I have been doing this lately. I also tip in pounds now. By the way, there are no troubles with the exchange of 1 dollar, we have a big problem. Usually bills of 50 and 100 bucks, but I don’t know any worries. In the bank I change at least 10, at least 20 green for pounds and they give change. No problem.

Lenok, we also have a problem with small bills in dollars, if I take $ 100 with me, can I exchange $ 1 at the airport for local currency? Do they charge a fee for exchanging $?

In the exchanger you can change, for example, to start with 10 dollars for Egyptian pounds. From 100 dollars you will be given change in dollars. But they do not exchange dollars for dollars. You can change the rest of the money in the hotel's exchange office, look in the description there is an exchange office in the hotel. I also want to say that tips less than 5 pounds are not given, you should not tip very small Egyptian pennies, the Egyptians consider this offensive. In general, this is a kind of nation, they are very touchy, just like children.

No, they just get offended and, for example, they can stop talking to you, turn away from you. Of course, nothing terrible will happen, but on vacation you don’t want to spoil your mood at all. It’s just that this is the originality of the Egyptians, having visited Egypt more than once you will see it for yourself. I just try to avoid such situations in order to offend them, but you can always solve some problems with a smile, without insults, but persistently and making it clear that you will achieve your goal.
